Ithaca Dog Walking and Care

I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child and I finally convinced my parents to rescue one a few years ago! I’ve been the sole caretaker of him since he joined our family and I’ve taken him through the process of crate training, basic commands, recall and potty training! My dog Mav is my best friend and my pride and joy so I would love to take care of yours just the same!

I have a fenced yard with one dog that sleeps in an outside house. I am also used to crating dogs so I can fit the needs of your household!

We were very happy and grateful to Ruby for caring for our pup Rosie. Ruby was responsible, sweet, and prompt with all communication. Most importantly, Rosie was happy and well cared for. As a plus, you would never know anyone was ever in our house, she left it so nice. We would definitely use Ruby again.

Did a great job house-sitting our pups, and rolled with a chaotic returning-to-home situation to help us out with our three month old. Our pups have never seemed so content after a 3 day absence!

We booked Ruby for some drop-in visits with our senior dog over the course of a few nights we were away and wanted him to stay in our own home. She was communicative and conscientious with our dog and we had a great experience with her.

Ruby spent two nights with my dog, Cooper. She responded promptly to my texts, sent photos and took good care of Cooper!

My dog has quite bad separation anxiety and is a rescue that deals with a lot of general anxieties as well so I am used to working with that. If your dog has any issues similar to that or if there’s anything else I should know I’m very happy to work with you and your dogs needs to the best of my ability!
